2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"A reliable car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Locks would open and close automatically while driving.
Passenger window solenoid began to go around 25000 miles.
Muffler needed to be replaced.
General comments?
I must say I have been very happy with the car. It has been reliable and only minimal problems have occurred.
My experience with the dealership and the service center have been pleasant. All of the issues with the car were repaired or replaced under warranty.
My only real issue has been the difficulty I have had in installing a car seat for a newborn/infant properly. The rear seat belts are not designed to go easily with any of the new model car seats.
